Linking Samsung watch eSIM to phone mobile number

[JadeRathbone]

Hi, anyone have any idea how to get my Samsung watch (galaxy 4 4g watch new today) to have the same number as my mobile? I've taken it out as an o2 refresh contract so I pay device and I pay for the airtime separately. However the gentleman said I'd be able to link the numbers in some way? I have a Samsung galaxy note s20 which is fully up to date so compatibility isn't an issue. Thanks

Is it the case that the watch might arive already set up, as someone mentioned above?  Ive just bought a galaxy watch to work with my samsungi20.  Or does everyone have to go through all the steps outlined above?

I'm having a nightmare with this too.  I've reset my phone, reset my app.  O2 asked me to uninstall galaxy wear app, which I did,  reset my watch, which I did (and lost all the data).  Now the e-sim isnt working and I'm getting two messages - 'Code isnt valid or its already been used'.  Next message is that 'service provider hasn't set up plan yet - error code 109'.  Its so frustrating and now my watch is completely wiped and I have to reinstall all of my apps on it again.  O2 have been utterly useless in helping me with this.  45 minutes on the phone to be told the problem is with the e-sim.  I've had enough and once my contract is up, I wont be renewing with them.

If the answer is yes then I can ask the community support to get in touch.

My phone and watch plan with EE ran out last week and I can tell you that it didn't matter whether my phone was switched on or not, I was able to make and receive calls and notifications on my watch anytime. I have a monthly sim only plan with O2 and would love to use the watch with it but sadly, I can't.

Post disappeared.... trying again.  Do you mean that on EE, if leave my phone at  home, my WhatsApp from my usual number, will come through on my watch? Same mobile number on phone sim and watch esim? O2 seem incapable off doing this? Hope that's what you mean!
